    Don't want welcome wagon

    in The Sims 4 General Discussion
    TBH, I don't really want a welcome wagon because I don't want to add more sims to my relationship list except my own sims. Is there a way to get pass the welcome wagon without adding the neighbours to my relationship list?

      I'm not sure but there are a few new interactions in front doors. One of them is to avoid vampires trespassing and other to avoid neighbours coming to the door. I think i read somewhere that if you set this interaction right when you start playing in a house, the welcome wagon won't show.
      But as i said i'm not sure and i haven't tried...

      There is a mod, not sure it works in Sulani or strangerville though. I don't have those and it works fine for me.

      Give your lot the "Private Dwelling" trait in build mode.

      Go to Manage Worlds and evict everyone else in your neighborhood. Make sure Fill Empty Houses is off if you live in Willow Creek or Oasis Springs. No neighbors means nobody to give you a Welcome Wagon.

      Just click on the door, trespassing and select "no solicitors". It was in the Eco Lifestyle patch.

      Edit: fixed it from “no neighbours” to “no solicitors”. It was added to the base game a month ago.

      I didn't know that. But unlike BethSims4, I like getting my sims meeting any that wander by when possible. ;)

      However, since I've 'set foot' in the vampire world, I plan on having them keep visitors out and build up an 'army' of little vampires over time to keep from going extinct as an occult. (My story-line)

      The brother and sister vampires. (can't remember their names)

      Same here. It's really nice in real life, but in Sims it got old quickly.

      You can cancel the welcome wagon now, you don't need a mod. If they arrive look on the left for the X to cancel. The neighbours won't like you though!

      Canceling the welcome wagon works but they will still be added to you sims relationship list. Your sims will eventually forget about the npc if you don't interact with them. MCCC mod have the option to forget sims.

      What's a Welcome Wagon?

      Hmm... adding private dwelling when you move in and then removing it after a week?

      Haven’t tried it but I will next time. I don’t like the welcome-wagon either.

      Sorry, it’s actually “no solicitors” on the front door to disable the welcome wagon.

      It's when your sim's neighbours come over when you start, or have you sim move to a new place.

      Hmm I thought you could just ignore them, I feel like I usually end up doing that haha. I get busy and don't open the door in time.

      Yes, you can ignore them. Of course! :D

      BethSims4 doesn't want it at all though because it may add them to the "relationship list".

      Really, have free will off. Enclose the property with locked doors, and have it private dwelling then.

      Here comes the 'welcome wagon'! :open_mouth:

      Whatever you do, don't let them in!

      "Why don't you open that door? I thought you were my friend."

      This is EVERY single sim's theme song when they show up unannounced. Especially in San Mishyuno.

      I wish we had more control over who our sims keep in the relationship panel, rather than the game deciding for us. I play rotationally and I’m constantly having to re-introduce sims that I play, yet they have all these townie friends I don’t care about.
      And if your sim goes out and is talking with anyone there’s always strangers butting in and you can’t even tell them to go away without meeting them.

      I understand what you are saying. My question is, how is it a 'problem'? Serious question. :)

      Which part?
      The game makes my sims forget they know other sims and I have to re-introduce them. Yet there’s other sims in their relationship panel I’ve never once had them pick up the phone and call.

      I think I know what you mean. I ended up getting a minor mod that reduces the 'forgetting' drain on relationships to a percentage of base game. I think I have it set at 10% drain of standard over time? Maybe even less. The 'quickly forgetting' was driving me crazy since it's a grind (without the modify relationship cheat code) just to build up friendship and/or romance. I play many households semi-rotationally based more on my own whims so yes, could be like 100 in-game days or more before I get back to playing a household.

      I find getting a friendship to at least 'friends' helps, 'close friends' is even better. Then your sim will get calls from them more regularly.

      I don't think the amount of others that your Sim has met affects the relationship any different. The drain is the same over time on all contacts.
